I did also Mack,
way back in the day I was stuffing so much garbage up my nose I could have opened a ski resort,
smoking enough herb to keep Woodstock going for a summer,and tripping with uncle Cid by the fistfull...
I quit doing all those things over the course of a year,and left that lifestyle and never looked back.
I didn't have any family or friends around to speak of,and the only help I got was from the Old Man Upstairs.
She knows how much it hurt me to see her fight those demons,as I vowed I'd never have anyone in my life that walked that road,
and after 5 years together,to see her go that way dammed near killed me.
But,I was hardened in the flames of self-destruction and beat upon by the hammer of my own ego for a reason;
to achieve a True Temper and be strong enough to guide others thru it.
Bob,just seeing your smilin' face,and knowing your Smoke is rolling strong is all I need brother,
and I thank you for it.
